Mariska Hargitay Calls Out Alleged Cornell Rapists: ‘I Think We Should Ruin Their …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Mariska Hargitay has made it clear where she stands on the disturbing allegations involving several Cornell University fraternity members.

The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star and recent Emmys host shared a series of posts on social media addressing the allegations, including one that called for consequences for the men accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman.

And considering the role she has played on television for nearly three decades, it probably comes as little surprise that Mariska had some very strong feelings about the case.

On her Instagram page, Hargitay reposted a graphic that read: “Yes I think we actually should ruin the futures of adult men who drug and gang rape a woman, thanks for asking.”

She also shared posts urging men to contact police if they witnessed a woman being sexually assaulted.

Another post referenced an alleged fraternity group chat in which a message advertising “free p—y” was reportedly shared.

The allegations stem from a lawsuit filed September 16 by a former Cornell student, identified as Jane Doe in court documents.

Doe alleges that she was 20 years old when she was sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. According to the lawsuit, she was allegedly forced to consume drugs before multiple men sexually assaulted her.

Seven fraternity members were named as defendants in the lawsuit: Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris, and Scott Kretzschmar.

Those allegations remain allegations, and the defendants have not been convicted of the conduct described in the lawsuit.

Doe reported the alleged assault to Cornell University Police approximately three weeks after the incident.

Cornell subsequently suspended the fraternity’s Xi chapter and temporarily suspended the seven men named in the lawsuit, according to court documents. The lawsuit alleges that the university gave the men an opportunity to mitigate the alleged conduct by submitting essays (per Yahoo! News).

Doe ultimately left Cornell.

Now, New York state prosecutors have reportedly decided to reopen a criminal inquiry into the allegations, bringing renewed attention to a case that had largely remained out of the national spotlight.

For Mariska, who has spent years portraying Detective Olivia Benson on SVU and advocating for survivors through her Joyful Heart Foundation, the issue is clearly a personal one.

She has also previously spoken publicly about experiencing sexual assault herself.

So while Mariska’s latest social media posts are very much in keeping with the work she’s been doing both on-screen and off-screen for years.

And with the investigation now being revisited, her posts have added another high-profile voice to the growing calls for accountability.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Kristi Noem Files For Divorce Following Husband’s Cross-Dressing Scandal

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Back in March, folks on social media had a good laugh over reports of Bryon Noem’s alleged cross-dressing fetish.

But it seems that Bryon’s wife, former South Dakota governor and former Department of Homeland Security secretary, failed to see the humor in the situation.

Kristi filed for divorce from Bryon on Monday, September 28, according to court records obtained by People.

Kristi cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

And while the filing may have arrived this week, rumors about trouble in the Noems’ marriage have been circulating for quite some time.

Kristi and Bryon married in 1992 after meeting as teenagers in South Dakota. They went on to have three children — daughters Kassidy and Kennedy and son Booker — and are now grandparents to four grandchildren.

But their seemingly long-running marriage came under intense scrutiny earlier this year after reports surfaced about Bryon’s alleged participation in online fetish forums.

The Daily Mail reported in March that Bryon had allegedly spent more than $25,000 communicating with performers in “bimbofication” chatrooms, a type of role-playing centered around exaggerated femininity.

The outlet also published photos that allegedly showed Bryon wearing feminine clothing and oversized fake breasts.

Kristi’s representative responded to those reports by saying that she was “devastated” and that the family had been “blindsided.”

A post shared by People Magazine (@people)

Bryon did not deny participating in the online chatrooms at the time, although he disputed some of the claims made about his conversations and his marriage.

The controversy came as Kristi was dealing with major changes in her own career.

President Donald Trump removed her as Homeland Security secretary in March and reassigned her to another role. Around the same time, Kristi was questioned publicly about longstanding rumors involving Trump ally Corey Lewandowski.

Both Kristi and Lewandowski have denied having a romantic relationship.

When questioned under oath about whether she had a sexual relationship with Lewandowski, Kristi declined to give a direct answer and dismissed the questions as “tabloid garbage.”

Meanwhile, Kristi’s mother, Corinne Arnold, indicated in July that the divorce was coming.

“It has been difficult, but we knew this was coming, that they were going to get divorced,” Arnold told the Daily Mail.

At the time, however, no divorce paperwork had been filed publicly.

That has now changed.

After 34 years of marriage, Kristi and Bryon’s relationship has officially reached its final chapter — and considering everything that has unfolded around the couple in 2026, it has certainly been a very public one.

Trump’s Ban on Canadian Alcohol Kicks In: Will You Notice the Impact?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

For most of this year, Donald Trump’s tariffs and international commerce restrictions have been subjects of widespread criticism.

And beginning today, millions of Americans might feel the effects of the never-ending trade war like never before.

That’s because the Trump administration has officially banned a whole lot of Canadian booze from entering the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump looks on during the signing of a security pact between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland during the 81st session of the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly at U.N. Headquarters on September 22, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

But before anyone starts panic-buying Crown Royal, there’s an important catch: The ban probably won’t empty American liquor-store shelves overnight.

The new restrictions took effect Tuesday and cover roughly $800 million worth of Canadian alcoholic beverages that the United States imported last year. The move is part of the rapidly escalating trade fight between the U.S. and Canada.

Trump’s administration says the action is a response to Canadian restrictions on American alcoholic beverages. Canada began pulling US wine and spirits from store shelves in 2025 after Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods.

The White House has characterized Canada’s treatment of American alcohol as discriminatory. Trump subsequently used Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose the new restrictions.

And yes, this means some of your favorite Canadian drinks could become considerably harder to find.

But there are loopholes.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Channel 3 Eyewitness News (@wfsbnews)

Whiskey and liqueurs can still enter the United States when they’re shipped in containers larger than four liters. That creates an obvious problem for Canadian producers, however, because many bottles sold in American liquor stores are much smaller.

Companies could theoretically ship their products in bulk and bottle them in the United States, but that requires additional equipment and containers.

Crown Royal may have an advantage here, as the brand already ships bulk whisky to the United States and bottles products intended for the American market domestically.

So while this is technically a ban on Canadian booze, it isn’t quite as simple as slapping a giant “NO CANADIANS ALLOWED” sign on every liquor store.

American consumers may not immediately notice much difference, particularly because distributors had time to stock up before the restrictions took effect.

Still, the broader implications are significant.

Trade expert Inu Manak tells CNN that using an import ban against an ally is an unusual escalation and described the move as a symbolic attempt to pressure Canadian negotiators.

The alcohol industry isn’t exactly thrilled about being caught in the middle, either.

Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, said American distillers prefer to compete based on their products rather than tariffs.

“We like to compete by sip and taste, not tariffs,” Swonger said.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, this particular trade dispute appears to have gotten considerably more complicated than simply deciding which country’s whiskey tastes better.

And for American consumers, the biggest question may be whether their favorite Canadian bottles remain available — or become the latest casualty of the increasingly messy US-Canada trade war.

Lindsay Clancy Holdout Juror Speaks Out: Focus on ‘3 Angels’ Who Died, Not Me

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial may be over for now, but the drama surrounding the case is showing no signs of slowing down.

Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror whose refusal to change his position contributed to the mistrial earlier this month, has spoken publicly for the first time without an attorney or YouTuber acting as his intermediary.

And Desronvil has one very specific request: Stop talking about him.

“I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels,” Desronvil said in a video statement that aired Monday on Fox News’ Hannity.

“The ones that can’t speak for themselves, the ones that can’t defend themselves, and the ones that can’t fight the battles — and those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan.”

Cora, Dawson, and Callan were Clancy’s three children. They were killed at the family’s Massachusetts home in January 2023.

The five-week trial ended in a mistrial on September 4 after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

According to several jurors who have spoken publicly, the panel ultimately stood at 11-1, with Desronvil maintaining that Clancy should be found guilty of murder.

Desronvil has repeatedly denied allegations that he ignored the law or possessed doubts about the prosecution’s case.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: The lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, Michael Desronvil, has broken his silence in a video statement sent exclusively to Fox News' Sean Hannity.

"I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the…

— Michael Ruiz (@mikerreports) September 29, 2026

“I didn’t have any doubts,” he previously said in a statement released through his representatives.

His attorney, Edward Paltzik, has also vigorously defended him, calling allegations made against his client “false” and “fabricated.”

Meanwhile, Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, has asked the court to investigate Desronvil over allegations stemming from the jury’s deliberations. Reddington has referred to him as an “obstructionist juror,” while Desronvil’s legal team has accused Clancy’s defense of unfairly targeting him.

Now, Desronvil says he would rather the conversation return to the three children at the center of the case.

“I want to thank God for my Catholic faith,” he said in his new video. “I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.”

“And foremost, I would like to thank everyone, every individual, that has supported me throughout this difficult situation.”

Clancy is scheduled to return to court today, as her legal team seeks to prevent a retrial and prosecutors weigh what comes next following the mistrial.

For now, however, the battle over the holdout juror appears to be far from finished.

Dennis Haskins Cause of the Death: Mr. Belding on ‘Saved By the Bell’ Passed

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have tragic news to report from the world of television.

Dennis Haskins — the actor best known for playing Principal Richard Belding on Saved by the Bell –has died at the age of 75.

Haskins’ death was confirmed by his longtime agent and friend, Jay Schachter, who shared the news with TMZ on Monday.

“It’s a tragic loss,” Schachter said. “Everyone loved Mr. Belding and those of us who got to know Dennis, loved him even more.”

A cause of death has not been disclosed.

And while Haskins may have spent years pretending to be exasperated by Zack Morris and the rest of the Bayside High crew, his agent says the actor was every bit as warm away from the cameras.

“He was a great person, and he loved, I mean absolutely LOVED his fans,” Schachter said.

“He always had time for them, no matter what. He was my client and dear friend for over 20 years, and I will miss him terribly.”

That affection from fans makes plenty of sense.

Haskins became a familiar face to an entire generation when he portrayed Principal Belding, the perpetually frustrated administrator tasked with keeping Bayside’s famously chaotic teenagers under control.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by TMZ (@tmztv)

Belding was often forced to storm into whatever latest scheme the students had cooked up while delivering his instantly recognizable catchphrase:

“Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?”

Few television catchphrases that can transport millions of Gen X and millinnial TV fans quite so quickly back to the 1990s.

Haskins first took on the role in Good Morning, Miss Bliss before continuing as Belding when the series became Saved by the Bell. He remained associated with the character for more than a decade, later reprising the role in Saved by the Bell: The College Years and Saved by the Bell: The New Class.

His career continued well beyond Bayside, with appearances in shows and movies including The West Wing, 7th Heaven, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, New Girl, Mad Men, and A Million Ways to Die in the West.

But for millions of fans, he will always be Mr. Belding.

And now, unfortunately, that familiar “Hey, hey, hey” is part of television history.

Our thoughts go out to Dennis Hastings’ loved ones during this difficult time.

Sydney Sweeney Shouts Out Boyfriend Scooter Braun While Modeling Lingerie

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Sydney Sweeney knows exactly what the internet likes.

And fortunately for her, they like Sydney Sweeney lingerie photos. Turns out she has an endless supply of those!

The actress and underwear mogul showed off her curves in a black bra and matching lacy underwear while promoting her lingerie brand, Syrn, over the weekend.

And because apparently a black lingerie set wasn’t enough of a statement, Sydney added a little romance to the look.

In photos shared by Syrn’s official Instagram account, the Euphoria star modeled the brand’s Smooth Cup Demi Bra in “After Dark.” The bra featured lace detailing, thin straps, V-neck cups and a tiny bow in the center.

Sydney accessorized with a gold chain necklace bearing the initials “SB” — seemingly a nod to her boyfriend, Scooter Braun.

She also shared a mirror selfie showing off the matching underwear, complete with lace straps. In another shot, she stuck out her tongue and flashed a playful smile for the camera.

Sydney’s company is rumored to be suffering from a catastrophic sales slump, and some industry analysts think the problem is that she’s putting too much focus on herself.

A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)

But it seems that she has no intention of changing course. At least not yet.

“Syd selfies, starring the Smooth Cup Demi Bra in After Dark,” Syrn captioned the photos.

Naturally, Sydney’s followers had plenty to say.

“Body is tea,” one fan commented, while another declared, “MY DIVAAA.” A third simply called her “A Goddess.”

This isn’t Sydney’s first lingerie showcase this month. Earlier in September, she modeled a pale pink bra and matching underwear for Syrn, posing for mirror selfies and photos while lounging on a bed with her laptop.

She also debuted an “SB” necklace in those photos, making it clear that her new romance has at least made its way into her jewelry collection.

Sydney and Scooter, 45, first met in June 2025 at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy. By April 2026, a source told Us Weekly that their relationship had become “serious.”

“They are the real deal,” the insider said at the time, adding that people around them initially thought the relationship would be “just a fling,” but the couple was committed.

Apparently, Sydney has found a way to combine business, lingerie, and a little boyfriend shoutout — all in one very Instagram-friendly package.

Her followers are loving it. And clearly, Syd is hoping that all that enthusiasm will eventually lead to an increase in sales.

Milania Giudice Had Fentanyl In Her System Ahead of Airport Meltdown, Teresa Giudice …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Teresa Giudice is shedding more light on the alarming airport incident involving her daughter.

As we previously reported, Milania Giudice posted a video in which she’s seen freaking out on her mom and telling her to “shut the f–k up” during a confrontation with airport police.

Milania quickly deleted the clip, but if she thought the drama would end there, she’s got another thing coming.

Newly released police bodycam footage from last week’s chaotic confrontation at Tampa International Airport captures Teresa making a startling claim about Milania’s recent struggles.

While speaking with an officer, Teresa said that Milania had been dabbling in hard drugs.

“I just want to save your life,” Teresa can be heard telling her daughter in the footage (per Page Six).

She then tells an officer that Milania “had fentanyl in her system.”

Milania, meanwhile, appears to offer an explanation of her own.

“’Cause I was laced, I go to college,” she says, according to the footage.

The exchange appears to reference an incident that occurred before Milania was taken to a hospital and subsequently placed under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows someone to be temporarily detained for a mental health evaluation.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by TMZ (@tmztv)

It is not clear from the footage exactly when the alleged fentanyl exposure occurred, whether Milania received medical treatment for it, or what she means by saying she was “laced.”

In other portions of the bodycam footage, Teresa and Milania’s older sister, Gia Giudice, are seen trying to communicate with her as police officers assist the family.

Gia reportedly tells officers that the family had hired a counselor to help Milania.

Teresa can again be heard emphasizing that she wants to protect her daughter.

“I want to save your life,” she tells Milania.

The footage comes just days after Milania’s very public meltdown at the airport.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Bravo Snark Side (@bravosnarkside)

Milania shared the original video of the confrontation, in which she repeatedly asked, “This is what we do now?”

Teresa responded by telling her daughter that she loved her, while Gia urged everyone to let Milania do what she wanted.

Milania then snapped at her mother, telling the Real Housewives of New Jersey star to “shut the f–k up.”

Police were called after Milania reportedly became separated from her family and counselor. Authorities were told she had been experiencing suicidal thoughts and a mental breakdown.

Milania’s representative later said she was “under the care of professionals” and surrounded by people who love her as she navigates an “incredibly difficult time.”

That difficult period has included her May arrest on a simple assault charge and the recent death of her childhood friend Victoria.

For now, Teresa and her family appear determined to get Milania whatever help she needs.

And judging by this latest bodycam footage, they’re taking that mission very seriously.

Taylor Swift ‘Ruined Music,’ Says Rock Legend Todd Rundgren

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s generally not a good idea to criticize Taylor Swift.

That’s not because she never deserves it — everyone needs to be taken down a peg now and then — rather, it’s because her legion of rabid fans will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who speaks ill of their queen.

But Todd Rundgren is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with an honorary doctorate from the Berklee College of Music, so he has reason to be confident in his opinions.

And the man is not a fan of Taylor’s.

In fact, Rundgren believes that Swift might have single-handedly “ruined music.”

Those are his words, people! Don’t shoot the messengers!

“There’s an argument to be made that she ruined music,” Rundgren told Vulture in a recent interview.

“It’s an understandable phenomenon. It’s just that, to me, Taylor Swift is the apotheosis of mediocrity.”

Rundgren went on to argue that women control the music industry these days because young men spend all their money on video games.

That argument doesn’t make a ton of sense, as no one really buys music these days, but the man was on a roll:

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Pitchfork (@pitchfork)

“That left the music market with, ‘Well, where do we go here?’” said Rundgren.

“And they said, ‘Well, there’s all these young girls and they’ve got their allowances, too.’”

He concluded his rant by listing the many ways in which Taylor is not great.

“Taylor Swift doesn’t do anything particularly great except grow hair,” he added.

‘“She’s not a great singer. She’s not a great songwriter. She’s not a great dancer. She’s a role model for what was a very young generation of women, and now for those women’s daughters as well, because it’s mothers and daughters going to Taylor Swift shows.”

Rundgren’s comments come on the heels of four new songs from Taylor that haven’t been terribly well-received.

Even diehard Swfities have been critical or indifferent regarding the tracks on The Life of a Showgirl: Encore.

But that doesn’t mean that they’ll be forgiving of Rundgren’s comments.

In fact, dude might want to enter some sort of protection program before it’s too late.

Gisele Bundchen’s Brutal Reason For Dumping Tom Brady Revealed

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Gisele Bündchen apparently didn’t need a lengthy breakup speech when she decided her marriage to Tom Brady was over.

According to a new biography about Brady, his supermodel ex delivered a particularly blunt assessment before walking away from their relationship.

The revelation comes from Lars Anderson’s upcoming book, Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness, which details the final months of Brady and Gisele’s relationship.

And apparently, astrology played a role.

“One day, Gisele, who is really into astrology, basically looked into the stars and told Tom, ‘We’re not compatible,’” Anderson writes in an excerpt published by the Daily Mail.

“And just like that, she was done.”

Well, that certainly sounds final.

The book reportedly paints Brady’s decision to continue playing football as a major source of tension in the marriage. After initially announcing his retirement in February 2022, Brady reversed course just weeks later and returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady wrote at the time. “That time will come. But it’s not now.”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Press Play (@_pressplaydaily)

According to Anderson’s reporting, Gisele had wanted Brady to step away from football, and his decision to return to the NFL created additional strain at home.

Things reportedly became so difficult that Gisele traveled to Costa Rica while Brady remained focused on football. The book describes the trip as a final attempt to repair their relationship.

Meanwhile, people around Brady noticed a change in him.

Former Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians reportedly observed that Brady had lost weight and appeared to be struggling with personal issues. Another coach, Clyde Christensen, recalled that Brady returned from his family vacation looking like an “empty shell.”

“There was no joy. Everything was hard work,” Christensen said, according to the book.

By October 2022, the writing was apparently on the wall.

Brady and Gisele announced their divorce on October 28, confirming that they had finalized the end of their marriage after 13 years together.

“We have grown apart,” Gisele wrote at the time, adding that she felt “blessed for the time we had together.”

The former couple shares two children, Benjamin and Vivian. Brady is also father to son Jack, whom he shares with Bridget Moynahan.

Gisele has since moved on. She married jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in December 2025, a few months after the couple welcomed their first child together.

As for Brady? He has remained busy with his post-NFL career and has been linked to several women since the divorce.

But apparently, according to this new account, the end of his marriage was ultimately boiled down to three very uncomfortable words: “We’re not compatible.”

Talk about unnecessary roughness.

Dave Grohl & Jordyn Blum Smile Together at VMAs Two Years After Affair, Lovechild …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Two years after Dave Grohl admitted to fathering a child while having an affair, he’s still with his wife.

On Sunday, the VMAs rolled out a new award and honored talented musicians from across generations.

As MTV honored the surviving Nirvana bandmates, Grohl and his wife presented a united front to the world.

What was their secret to staying married despite such a major betrayal?

Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum appear to be going strong, despite everything

On Sunday, September 27, musician and songwriter Dave Grohl attended the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) with his wife, Jordyn Blum.

Grohl is one of three surviving members of the beloved ’90s grunge band, Nirvana.

(The other two are Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear.)

At the 2026 VMAs, they received the Video Vanguard Award.

Grohl and Blum presented a united front at the awards show, which is a big deal, all things considered.

In September of 2024, Grohl publicly admitted to having cheated on Blum — and fathering a child with another woman in the process.

In an Instagram post, he confessed: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage.”

Grohl affirmed: “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.”

He expressed: “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

Grohl concluded by expressing: “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”

How has his family coped with the aftermath of his cheating?

In a 2026 interview with The Guardian, Dave Grohl discussed undergoing counseling in the wake of his extramarital affair.

“I’ve been in therapy six days a week for 70 weeks,” he shared at the time.

Added Grohl: “I did the math the other day: over 430 sessions.”

Almost-daily therapy sessions are usually only necessary in extreme cases, such as a minor who has only just escaped from horrendous abuse or children who have escaped from war zones.

However, if you can afford it (he can) and if you believe that it will improve your life (he does), it very likely cannot hurt.

Not all of Grohl and Blum’s children accompanied them to the VMAs, but a couple did.

Together, they have three daughters: 20-year-old Violet, 17-year-old Harper, and 12-year-old Ophelia.

It’s likely that none of them expected to have a much-younger half-sister who may or may not play some role in their lives.

Still, it is better to be involved with an extramarital lovechild than be a deadbeat — or an absent-while-paying-hefty-child-support — parent. It’s still awfully complicated for everyone involved, not merely for the person who did this.

Reports have said that Blum has gotten stricter with Grohl in the wake of his betrayal. But it also sounds like their marriage may be on the mend. It certainly looks that way.

Good for them?

Jenny Slatten ‘Getting Weaker By the Day’ in Grim ’90 Day Fiance’ …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

This spring, Sumit Singh and Jenny Slatten revealed her ALS diagnosis.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis has treatments but no cure.

As the couple raise funds to get Jenny better treatment, they have delivered a series of health updates.

Now, Jenny essentially can no longer speak, and she is growing weaker despite the battery of medications and supplements that she’s taking.

’90 Day Fiance’ fans have noticed that Sumit Singh does most of the talking in videos about Jenny Slatten’s ALS. There is a sad reason for that. (Image Credit: YouTube/GoFundMe)

Jenny Slatten is ‘getting weaker by the day’

In a recent update to the GoFundMe page for Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh, family friend Serma Minincleri revealed the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way alum’s dire health.

“Jenny is getting weaker by the day,” the update revealed.

“She is on 2 medications for ALS,” Minincleri detailed, “which are Edaravone and Riluzole.”

The update shared that these medications are “both supposed to slow the process down.”

Minincleri added: “Both pills make Jenny very tired, plus she takes B12, melatonin, and magnesium.”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sumit (@sumitjenny)

Wait, what’s that about melatonin?

Many of us may take melatonin to adjust to a new sleep schedule, avoid jet lag, or even rely upon the natural sleep hormone to go to bed most nights.

However, studies have found a link between taking melatonin and slowing disease progression of ALS and improving survival outcomes.

(This topic will require further study, but that is great news, especially since this supplement is readily available and widely considered to be safe.)

Unfortunately, at best, this combination of medications and supplements will slow the progression of ALS — not stop it. And not cure it.

ALS has already robbed her of her voice

Unfortunately, Jenny Slatten has also largely lost the ability to speak comfortably.

“Jenny hardly speaks now as it hurts,” the update acknowledged.

“Sumit speaks more for her,” Minincleri added, “and is the main spokesperson for his wife.”

The update affirmed: “Sumit is Jenny’s main caregiver and doing a great job each day.”

Jenny and Sumit turned both of their lives upside down to be together. It is no surprise that they remain loving spouses despite everything.

A post shared by Sumit (@sumitjenny)

The good news is that, as of Monday, September 28, the GoFundMe has raised over $126,000. That’s progress.

In the meantime, Jenny has been seeing neurologists and speech therapists.

Minincleri’s update says that she will soon begin acupuncture.

Acupuncture is sometimes seen as a luxury “wellness” procedure in the US. In parts of Asia, including India, it is more common. (Reminder that it was popularized in the US after James Reston underwent it following an emergency appendectomy during Nixon’s trip to China.)

No treatment, pharmaceutical or holistic, can cure ALS. But there are treatments to help Jenny’s quality of life and to slow the disease’s progression.

We will continue to keep Jenny and Sumit in our thoughts.

Taylor Swift Takes Home First-of-its-Kinds Awards at VMAs

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Though Taylor Swift sometimes skips awards shows, we’re glad that she was present for this one.

The VMAs were Sunday night.

Even if a lot of Swift’s recent music has divided fans, she brought home multiple awards.

One is a brand-new award that honors her creative vision not only as a singer and songwriter, but as a director.

Once again, congratulations Taylor Swift!

On Sunday, September 27, Taylor Swift took home an inaugural award at the VMAs.

She received MTV’s first-ever Artist Director Honors.

This award refers to artists, like the singer-songwriter herself, who also direct their own music videos.

Of the “roughly” 60 music videos that she’s put out, Swift told the crowd, she wrote and directed 18 of them.

Taking to the stage (after friend Dakota Johnson introduced her), Taylor spoke about why directing many — but not all — of her music videos meant so much to her.

“I got to tell you, though, the main reason why I love writing and directing music videos so much is because you, the fans, make it so much fun,” Swift gushed to the adoring crowd.

“You make it so rewarding!” she reiterated.

“Because,” Swift explained, “you actually care about what we’re making.”

Many hardcore Swifties joke that she uses clues and puzzles akin to a fictional serial killer to hint at her next project or announcement. They’re not entirely wrong.

Swift’s music videos are similarly full of little hints, little symbols and clues, that help lay out who and what the song is about.

She knows that she did not do her music videos alone

“I want to say thank you to everyone who ever worked on a music video that I got to be a part of,” Taylor Swift expressed.

“I learned something from every single person who worked alongside me on these projects,” she shared.

These people have ranged from actors to celebrity cameos to Oscar-winning cinematographers like Emmanuel Lubezki, who worked with her on the “Patient Zero” video.

“Mainly, I want to say thank you to the fans,” Swift emphasized.

“And,” she teased, “rather than say anything else … I would love to, if it’s okay with you, show you my latest music video.”

By the way, Swift also won Video of the Year for “The Fate of Ophelia.”

It’s not her strongest song but the music video is impressive and genuinely stunning.

(Is Troye Sivan’s “Party” better? Yes. Maybe it came out after the VMAs eligibility window.)

Swift has 14 Grammy awards, but it’s significant that she’s the first to take home the Artist Director Honors.

Not every singer can do that — and that’s okay. But it’s really cool that Swift can pull off so many parts of her vision, and that she has the resources to bring her vision to life.

Michael Keaton Divorced: His History of Marriage, Explained

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Beloved actor Michael Keaton has been married and divorced as he has fallen in and out of love.

Before he played Batman and long before he faced off against Spider-Man in the MCU, he first tied the knot.

Keaton has become a father, a political advocate, a partner, and an ex-husband along the way.

Here’s a look at his relationship history — and where things stand today.

Michael Keaton and Caroline McWilliams

In 1982, Michael Keaton married Caroline McWilliams.

McWilliams was a fellow actor. She appeared in everything from Benson to Guiding Light to Beverly Hills, 90210.

In 1983, Keaton and McWilliams welcomed their son, Sean. Sean went on to make them both grandparents.

Before they became grandparents, however, the couple ended their marriage in 1990.

In 2010, McWilliams passed away.

Courteney Cox

Shortly after Michael Keaton and Caroline McWilliams divorced, he entered a relationship with someone who needs no introduction.

Keaton was just coming off of back-to-back success from playing the titular characters in both Beetlejuice and then Batman (1989).

Cox was just gearing up for her own fame. Friends premiered in 1994.

The two kept their first date low-key, staying indoors and chatting for 5 hours. They had a lot in common, shared a special connection, and mostly kept their romance private.

Perhaps that is why it spanned from 1990 to 1995. However, despite engagement rumors, they split — but it sounds like it was pretty amicable.

Michael Keaton and Marni Turner

In 2016, Keaton was on a street in Los Angeles when he, by chance, spotted a woman who took his breath away.

That woman was Marni Turner.

He boldly introduced himself (not so bold if you’ve been a famous actor for three decades, perhaps), and discovered that Turner was a delightful person.

Keaton and Turner began to date, though most of their relationship remained out of the spotlight.

In particular, he credited her with supporting him emotionally when he filmed Dopesick, a project close to his heart. He would go on to win an Emmy for the role.

Where do things stand today?

As of 2026, Keaton and Turner are still together.

She has been a source of emotional support as well as love and companionship for the actor, who continues actively working on television and in films.

Keaton also maintains close ties to his siblings — and, of course, to his son, Sean Douglas.

(The Douglas surname is not a bit of fancy on Keaton’s part. The actor’s actual first name is Michael Douglas. It was, you know, taken.)

After a decade together, it sounds like things between Keaton and Turner are going well. Good for them!
